Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Direct-entry Lite-path shortcut (Remove or delete a code artifact, endpoint, dependency, feature, or dead code; update dependents, tests, and docs.) -- skips the aid-describe interview/triage. Binds VERB=`remove` ARTIFACT="" (bare verb) and runs the shared shortcut engine, producing a fully-graded flattened Lite work that halts for approval. State machine: delegated to .claude/aid/templates/shortcut-engine.md (INTAKE -> CAPTURE -> SPEC -> PLAN -> DETAIL -> GATE -> APPROVAL-HALT).

About this skill

Shortcut: remove

<!-- GENERATED by .claude/skills/generate-profile/scripts/build-shortcut-skills.py from .claude/aid/templates/shortcut-catalog.yml -- DO NOT EDIT BY HAND; edit the catalog row and re-run the helper, then the full run_generator.py. -->

Bind VERB=remove, ARTIFACT="" (bare verb), then run the shared engine at .claude/aid/templates/shortcut-engine.md. The engine scaffolds the flattened Lite work (feature-001 structure), authors REQUIREMENTS -> SPEC -> PLAN + BLUEPRINT -> DETAIL tasks with reduced capture, runs the per-document Grading Gates (feature-004), and halts at the FR-10 approval gate. It never executes. This shortcut's default_type/group/alias_of are its row in .claude/aid/templates/shortcut-catalog.yml.

When not to use it

  • When the user wants to go through the `aid-describe` interview/triage process

Limitations

  • The skill halts for approval and never executes the removal directly

How it compares

This skill directly initiates a removal workflow, skipping initial interview steps, unlike a manual or more guided process.
